Henryk Arctowski, an outstanding polar researcher on the new Poczta Polska stamp
On July 15, it is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Henryk Arctowski, a world -famous scientist, traveler and researcher, whose achievements and scientific achievements had an undisputed influence on contemporary polarity. The figure of an outstanding scientist is honored with the latest Poczta Polska stamp, whose broadcast is provided on his birthday.
The outstanding polar farmer was shown in a five -seating sheet with a tag. The author of the project, Paweł Myszka, presented a portrait photo of Henryk Arctowski on the stamp, while the Belgian research vessel "Belgica" placed on the hostel, on which the first expedition studying Antarctica set off. Geographical names commemorating the figure of Arctowski, a scientist known all over the world, were placed on the sheet of the sheet. The FDC envelope (i.e. the envelope of the first day of circulation) is presented by the "Belgica" research ship at the banks of Antarctica in the years 1897-1899. The Belgian expedition - whose member was Arctowski - is considered one of the milestones in the history of Antarctic expeditions. It has been proven for the first time that a man can survive the Antarctic winter together with the polar night accompanying her and - thanks to the year -round observations, gathered geological samples and the collections of flora and fauna, maps and photographs - detailed knowledge was collected, which was groundbreaking for further antarctic research. The date stamp was signed by Henryk Arctowski, the title of issue and the date of issue.
Henryk Arctowski is an outstanding scientist and university lecturer with many specializations. It belongs to the group of the largest polar researchers in the world. Arctowski's research included issues in the field of geology, glaciology, meteorology, oceanography, atmosphere optics and phenomena phenomena. He wrote over 400 scientific papers, summarizing expeditions and research effects conducted in Antarctica. In recognition of the merits and contribution to science, in 1912 the Franciscan University in Lviv gave Arctowski the dignity of doctor honoris causa. In 1976, after the death of Henryk Arctowski, the polar station of his name was established in the southern Shetlands. In Antarctica and Spitsbergen there are also peaks with the name of the scientist.
